The penetration potential of TIG welding in one single run is limited, though the process itself generates high quality welds with good weld cosmetics. This is one of the main reasons, which has contributed to its development in high duty applications such as those encountered in aeronautical, aerospace, nuclear & power plant applications. For these applications, stainless steels, titanium k nickel based alloys are most often used. As these materials remain very sensible to weld heat input k atmospheric pollution, stringent processing conditions are imposed. For example welding of titanium alloys requires argon shielding of weld zone and for 5 mm thick plates multi-pass runs & filler additions are required. This multi-run operation not only raises the welding cost, but also increases defect risks. In recent years, extensive interest has been raised by the possibility to increase weld penetrations through flux applications & the process is designated ATIG-activated TIG, or FBTIG-flux bounded TIG. The improved welding performance of such flux assisted TIG is related to arc constriction and surface tension effects on weld pool. The research work by authors has lead to the formulation of welding fluxes for stainless steels k titanium alloys with TIG Process. These fluxes are now commercialized & some applications in industry have already been carried out. FBTIG for aluminum has been proposed with silica application for AC mode TIG welding. The paper highlights the fundamentals of flux role in TIG welding and illustrates some industrial applications.

In this study, shear fracture specimens are designed using finite element analyses for the characterization of ductile fracture criteria of metal sheets. Many recently suggested ductile fracture criteria require experimental fracture data at the shear stress states in the model parameter identification. However, it is challenging to maintain shear stress states in tension-based specimens from the initial yield to the final fracture, and the loading path can be different for the different materials even with the same shear specimen geometries. To account for this issue, two different shear fracture specimens for low ductility/high ductility metal sheets are designed using the sensitivity tests conducted by finite element simulations. Priorly mechanical properties including the Hosford-Coulomb fracture criterion of the aluminum alloy 7075-T6 and DP590 steel sheets are used in the simulations. The results show that shear stress states are well-maintained until the fracture at the fracture initiation points by optimizing the notch geometries of the shear fracture specimens.

Vehicle load information is an important role in operating and ensuring the structural health of cable-stayed bridges. In this regard, an efficient and economic method is proposed for vehicle load detection based on the observed cable tension and vehicle position using a graph neural network (GNN). Datasets are first generated using the practical advanced analysis program (PAAP), a robust program for modeling and considering both geometric and material nonlinearities of bridge structures subjected to vehicle load with low computational costs. With the superiority of GNN, the proposed model is demonstrated to precisely capture complex nonlinear correlations between the input features and vehicle load in the output. Four popular machine learning methods including artificial neural network (ANN), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and support vector machines (SVM) are refereed in a comparison. A case study of a cable-stayed bridge with the typical truck is considered to evaluate the model's performance. The results demonstrate that the GNN-based model provides high accuracy and efficiency in prediction with satisfactory correlation coefficients, efficient determination values, and very small errors; and is a novel approach for vehicle load detection with the input data of the existing monitoring system.

Headed bars are often used when there is insufficient space for a straight or curved bar to be fully developed to ensure the transference of forces between steel and concrete in several types of connections between structural members. In such cases, the concrete breakout strength of the headed bars can be a critical point of the design and must be considered appropriately. This paper evaluates the tensile strength of headed bars embedded in reinforced concrete members, failing due to concrete breakout. Four experimental tests on headed bars embedded in slender concrete members are presented and discussed, showing that strength previsions from the design codes can be significantly conservative as they ignore the contribution from the flexural reinforcement. 3D finite element models were developed using Abaqus Unified FEA to simulate the tested specimens, and it was observed that they were able to reproduce the formation of the concrete cone accurately, besides the response and resistance observed in tests. Furthermore, the experimental, numerical, and design code resistances are compared and discussed. A new equation to evaluate the concrete cone strength of the tested headed bars is proposed, which takes into account parameters not explicitly considered in the current design equations.

The need for establishing the contribution of pultruded FRP encasements and additional FRP wraps around these encasements to the shear strength and load-deflection behavior of reinforced concrete beams is the main motivation of the present study. This paper primarily focuses on the effect of additional wrapping around the composite beam on the flexural and shear behavior of the pultruded GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) beams infilled with reinforced concrete, taking into account different types of failure according to av/H ratio (arch action, shear-tension, shear-compression and pure bending). For this purpose, nine hybrid beams with variable shear span-to-depth ratio (av/H) were tested. Hybrid beams with 500 mm, 1000 mm, and 1500 mm lengths and cross-sections of 150x100 mm and 100x100 mm were tested under three-point and four-point loading. Based on the testing load-displacement relationship, ductility ratio, energy dissipation capacity of the beams were evaluated with comprehensive macro damage analysis on pultruded GFRP profile and GFRP wrapping. The GFRP wraps were established to have a major contribution to the composite beam ductility (90-125%) and strength (40-75%) in all ranges of beam behavior (shear-dominated or dominated by the coupling of shear and flexure). The composite beams with wraps were showns to reach ductilities and strength values of their counterparts with much greater beam depth.

Firstly, a new kind of prismatic tensegrity structures with redundant cables is defined, the topology, geometry and forming conditions of which are introduced further. The development of its mechanical properties including self-stress states and structural stiffness with the increment of the twist angle is also investigated carefully. Combined with the topology of this kind of structures, a reasonable erection scheme is proposed, in which some temporary lifting points need to be set and two groups of vertical cables are tensioned in batches. Then, a simplified dynamic relaxation method is employed to track the erection process inversely, which aims to predict each intermediate equilibrium state during the construction, and give the key structural parameters that can effectively guide the construction. The removal of the active cables, the relaxation or tension of the passive cables are simulated by controlling their axial stiffness, so that the structural composition as well as the serial numbers of the elements always keep invariant regardless of the withdrawal of the slack cables. The whole analysis process is clear in concept, simple to implement and easy to popularize. Finally, several examples are given to verify the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed method further.

초고층 건축물의 선행 코어 후행 슬래브 접합부, 지하 연속벽과 바닥구조의 접합부, 임시 개구부 등 신구 콘크리트 접합부의 철근 이음을 위하여, 다수의 커플러를 전단키가 있는 얇은 강판에 설치한 철근 이음용 매립 강판이 최근 개발되었다. 이 공법을 사용한 접합부의 구조 성능을 검증하기 위하여, 벽체-슬래브 접합부에 대한 반복하중 실험을 실시하였다. 비교를 위해 기존에 사용되는 굽힌 철근 박스를 이용한 접합부와 이음이 없는 접합부도 함께 실험하였다. 실험 결과 철근 이음용 매립 강판을 사용한 접합부는 이음이 없는 접합부와 동일하게 [인장철근 항복]-[충분한 휨변형]-[압축 콘크리트 압괴] 후 압축 철근의 좌굴로 파괴되었다. 따라서 설계에서 가정한 충분한 연성 거동을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면, 굽힌 철근 박스를 사용한 접합부의 경우, 탄성구간에서는 철근 이음용 매립 강판과 유사하게 거동하였으나, 측면 피복 콘크리트가 빨리 탈락되었으며, 슬래브 상하부면의 겹침이음 구간에 부착 균열이 다수 발생하였다. 최종적으로 이음 없는 실험체 및 철근 이음용 매립 강판을 사용한 실험체에 비해 강도와 변형능력이 저하되었다. 또한 굽힌 후편 철근을 겹침이음한 실험체가 철근 이음용 매립 강판을 적용한 경우에 비해 강성 저하가 빠르게 진행되었다. 굽힌 후편 철근의 탄성계수는 직선 철근에 비해 낮고, 완전한 직선으로 펼 수 없기 때문에 인장력을 받으면서 일부 구간이 펴지므로 접합부의 강성을 저하시킨 것으로 판단된다. 2종류의 철근 지름(D13, D16)과 강종(SD300, SD400)에 대해, 철근이음용 매립 강판을 적용한 접합부는 공칭 강도를 충분히 상회하였다. 그러나 굽힌 후 편 철근을 사용하면 강종이 높을수록 그리고 지름이 굵을수록 휨강도가 저하되었다. 따라서 굽힌 후 편 철근의 사용에 주의가 필요하다.

기존 강구조 모멘트연성골조시스템의 기둥-보 접합부는 노스리지 지진과 고베 지진시 충분한 내진성능을 발휘하지 못하고 접합부에서 취성파괴가 발생하였다. 본 논문은 기존 접합부의 형상을 변화하여 H형강보 웨브의 고장력볼트 전단접합과 H형 플랜지의 리브보강 유무를 변수로 한 실대형 실험을 실시하였다. 실험목적은 보웨브의 2면전단접합으로 고장력 볼트수 감소와 시공성 향상을 기대하며, 리브플레이트 보강을 통해 내진성능을 향상시키고자 한다. H형강 보웨브의 2면전단접합과 리브플레이트로 보강한 접합부 실험결과, 기존 접합부보다 초기강성, 에너지 소산능력 및 소성회전능력이 높게 나타났으며, 내력상승률 및 변형능력은 전단탭의 위치로 인해 인장측과 압축측이 다소 차이를 보이고 있으나 전체적으로 우수한 내진성능을 나타냈다. 그리고 모든 시험체가 층간변위비 4%, 총소성회능력 약 0.029rad이상 및 접합부 최대내력이 원단면보 전소성모멘트의 약 130% 이상을 상회하여 중급모멘트연성골조이상의 설계가 가능하리라 사료된다.
